Themes Themes Themes!

One of my favourite things to do is watch movies. Some of my favourites tend to be of the "Old Hollywood" era. Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, To Catch a Thief are just a few. Oh how I love the ethereal lighting, the glamorous dresses, the gloves, the suits, the hats, the diamonds and pearls, the long lashes and dark lipstick.

Who wouldn't want something like the Old Hollywood theme:

Of course, you do need to add colour to your wedding. Or maybe not. What's wrong with a stricking Black and White Wedding? A little bit of lace, parhaps a dash of glass, crystal and/or silver with some beautiful designs. Then maybe a smudge of red as an accent. Stylish, classy, brings out the theme in all its glamour but then also a with a slight modern twist. Love it!

Want a little more colour but wishing to stay true to the black and white theme? Why not bring the red out a little more? Dark Red with Black and White has a stylish feel but is also very dramatic and romantic. Something I'm totally into.

You love the theme but this is all a little much. Fret not. You can keep the theme but adjust the colours to your liking. Remember, everything grey was probably a lighter colour. Why not work with Pearls, Crystal and/or Glass with White and Peach or Pink?

Colours!

We're just skimming over colour wheels right now and yes I'm getting waaaaay ahead of myself.

Our current ideas lean more towards purple (a colour we both really like). Now Boy is not the type of guy who is afraid to use other colours and he tends to be rather open for my suggestions (but will also very quickly say if he COMPLETELY disagrees).

My current favourite is this arrangement of aqua and quite a deep purple:


Not sure about it yet. We're still looking but this one kinda fitted very well with our ideas. Just think about using this with some vintage type of theme perhaps. The link was found on a very useful site: Primadonnabride
